tempered into the light
Grave is the wasteland
riddled with blight
Breath is the poison with
its roots in your bones
Never bury your memories
in iron-sided tombs

Tithe for the borders to
ward against the dead
Remember, remember, all
the horrors that we fled
Send your prayers to the
stars burning the sky
We call this world a miracle,
so build your walls up high."
